The country is still in financial crisis and a second bailout is being sought from the fatcats of the eurozone and IMF. any second loan will mean a second wave of austerity measures with yet more cutsi n jobs and services and hugely unpopular privitisation programme.
Once again, ordinary Greeks see through the political rhetoric and are taking to the barricades to try and stop the capitalist juggernaut of destruction.
Progressives everywhere wish them well!
